WAsHINGTON, Jan. % In the senate
yesterday MIR. Blair moved to lay aside un-
finished business to take up the proposed
woman suffrage constitutional amend
ment which was carried - to 6. The fol-
lowing is the text Of the proposed amend
ment: "The right Of the citizens of the
United States to vote shall not be denied
or abridged ny the United States or by
State on account Of sex. Congress shall
have power 10y approximate LEGISLATION to
enforce the provisions Of this article"
Mr.. Brown addressed the senate ia uppo-
sition. He SAID that as a member OF the
select committee on woman suffrage he
has signed, with Senator Cockrell, the
minority report, in which they had sought
to establish the fact that the proposed
legislation would be injudicious and un-
wise. He believed that the Creator in
tended that the sphere Of the males and
the females of the human race should be
different and that their duties and obliGa-
tons. while they differ materially
were equally important and equally hon
orable 1t was doubtful, he SAID, whether
man or woman had now the most Influence
in government AFT tirs The intelligent,
noble, cultivated woman was the power
behind the throne. All her Influence was
in favor of morality and good govern
ment. She now exercised an lmperceptible
/ influence in public affairs much greater
than she could If female suffrage were
enacted
Mr. Vest also spoke in opposition. If

Paris Tenement Population.

In Paris the tenement population in
creased from 142, 671 persons in 1876 to
243, 564 in 1882. One block, containing
800 persons, has no water supply what
ever. The usual drainage in such build
ings is through chutes leading from differ
ent floors into a hogshead in the cellar,
which is emptied as occasion requires.
According to NJ. Naduad, there are 219,-
270 houses in France without any windows
whatever, light and air being admitted
through hole in the door, which has to
be stopped in wet or cold weather. In
Paris, although 10000 tenements have
been dealt with by the authorities under
the act of 1850, there are some 1000 per-
sons living in single rooms without means
Of warming, and half as many others
occupy rooms with no opening for light
and air. Nearly 10000 habitations con-
sist of a single room only. This over
crowding is partly the result of the de-
struction of small buildings to make room
for costly apartment houses. A municipal
commission recently appointed in Paris
proposes that cheap tenements should be
built on unoccupied sites belonging to the
city.-New York Journal.

A VERY DEADLY NEEDLE.
Hypodermic Injections Which frequently
Cause Death-A PHYSICIANS Views.

Hypodermic Injections Which frequently
Cause Death-A Physicians Views.
That the drinking and smoking of lau-
danum and opium are not unknown vices
IN New York, any physician will affirm.
But there is a practice which is even more
Charlottesville use of the hypodermic syr-
inge. To estimate the growth of this
evil it is only necessary to take the testi
mony of druggists and dealers in surgical
instruments. The fact is it has become a
problem with which social reforTners must
deal
A reporter talked the other day with a
prominent physician upon this topic.
"Many medical men," said he, ''are I'M
aware that the use of the hypodermic syr-
inge is always attended with danger of
instant death The cause of this danger
is not well understood, but the fatal acct
dents that have been recorded were not
due to the taking Of larger doses than
usual by mistake, nor to the cumulative
effects of the drug. Cases have occurred
in which persons have taken large doses
for months without producing single un-
pleasant symptom, and have died in a few
minutes from the effects of quarter Of
the habitual quantity taken in the usual
A426'uACl 1uo az tuC lC6uldl
"There is danger of fatality against
which no vigilance can guard. The symp-
toms are not always SO severe as to pro-
duce coma, unless arrested. They occur
about once in 100 administrations, and
prove fatal at least once in ten. That IS
to say, a man who uses the hypodermic
syringe at the rate Of ten punctures day,
which is a very moderate average, should
encounter the symptoms and their at
tendant danger of death once in every ten
days on the average, and the probability
is that they will prove fatal within six
months after the habit is formed. The
danger that he may be found dead is thus
always real one with the habitue Of the
hypodermic, danger that may at any
moment involve coroner's inquest and
the imputation Of suicide. New York

Coins of the COnfederacy.

A correspondent asks if there were any
coins made by the southern Confederacy.
answer yes, however much it may have
been denied. There were four silver half
dollars coined, and no more. The difficulty
of obtaining bullion forced the mint to
close April 30, 1861. One is owned by

sity, and another is in the possession Of

where the other two are. Copies may
have since been struck from the same die.
On the diverse of the coin is a representa-
ton of the Goddess of Liberty surrounded
by thirteen stars, denoting the thirteen
states from which the Confederacy sprung,
and on the lower rim the figures 1861.
On the reverse there is a shield with seven
stars, representing the seeding states;
above the shield is a liberty cap, and en-
twined around it are stalks Of sugar cane

Some Senatorial Peculiarities.

When Gen. Sam Houston, of Texas, was
in the senate of the United States the door
keeper always provided half q dozen small
sticks of white pine to be placed on his
desk every morning. When the senator
would come in he would first sharpen his
knife on a bone, which he kept in the
drawer Of his desk, and then white one
of these pieces of pine, sometimes into a
grotesque figure, and then simply cut it
into strips or chips. When one piece was
finished he would take another, and he
generally used five n day. Mr.. Reagan
